"I Am Myself" by Raw Produce ft. Mr. Lif is responsible for sparking my initial interest in underground hip-hop. I first heard this song way back when I was in eighth grade and it is still one of my favorite songs to date. From what I have witnessed, this song has not received the respect that it deserves. I couldn't even find it at the local record store that usually has everything I am looking for. More people need to have the pleasure of hearing this song! Here's a little background on Raw Produce: In the mid 90s Raw Produce helped to re-establish the artistic merits of independent hip-hop. At a time when major labels dominated the landscape, Pitch (Damian Roskill) and Cadence (Seth Boyd) independently released three classic singles featuring sophisticated production, strong lyrical content and a sense of humor and intelligence lacking in much of the music of the day. I hope you enjoy listening to this gem of a throwback!
